A great many farmers will com
plain of hard times, and at the same
time they have not got bushel of
potatoes to sell, and are even buy
ing corn for their own use. The peo-
pie in every community outside of
the cities make the times Just what
they are. The price of railroad,
telegraph, bank and manufacturing
stocks does not affect them in the
least, and-there is just as much de-
mand for farm products and live
stock one year as another The times
will never be easy enough for man
to make money without investing
either capital or labor The man
who is founging about waiting for
an opportunity OF. that kind might
as well go out with a pail and wait
for a COW to come along to be MIXED.

0pruARYs-Mrsi Hattie Hopkins,
nee Windon, was born Feb. 9Th, 1860,
in Pleasant Flats, W. Va. and died
April 10th, 1887, aged ~ years, 2
months and 10 days. Mrs. Hopkins
was the daughter of the late Samuel
Windon, and at the age of 1S was
married to Mr. David Hopkins, of
Racine, Ohio, now deceased, and
has since been living at Graham
Station. For the pas two years
she has been declining in health and
was brought to the residence of her
sister, Mrs. James Windon, in this
place, March 10th. Since that time
she has been gradually growing
worse, and was at last called away.
"Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord All that physicians and
loving friends could do was done,
but all seemed unavailing, that fell
destroyer, consumption hid its fatal
work. Hattie is no more. Her
funeral was delivered at the Presby-
terrain church on Sunday morning
at 10 o'clock by her pastor Rev. w.
w. Ruff to an immense audience,
and after taking the last leave and
view of the lifeless remains, she was
borne away through the rain to her
final resting place for this earth.
AT the burial many fingered, not
withstanding the rain as if the grave
contained treasure from which
they could not part, yet could not
reach it. How her excellence was
appreciated while she was here and
how heI. great worth is realized after
she is gone. She seemed to bear
her long atfiiction as becomes an
angel, but she has no moro pain or
sorrow now. What great lesson
there is to be learned from an ex-
ample so noblel She leaves mother,
two sisters, two brothers and a sweet
little daughter of6 yearsold to mourn
her loss To this bereaved family we
extend our deepest sympathies, and
while they mourn the earthly loss of
one so dear, we point them for CON
ISOLATION to him ''who doeth ;.ll things
we'll"
dearest sister thou hast left us
And thy loss we deeply feel,
But tits God that hath bereft us
He will all our SORROWS heal"
